Ernest Daetwyer's Reality in Reverse [barn raising] exhibition at the Kitchener-Waterloo Art Gallery involved the demolition of an existing barn and its reincarnation in the Gallery. Working in collaboration with an experienced crew of Mennonite barn raisers, Daetwyler used the reclaimed materials to build an inverted version of the barn within the Eastman Gallery. For Daetwyler, the tenuous position of the barn inside the Gallery is a reflection of the economic and ecologic challenges faced by even the most optimistic of collaborators.
